Splinter

I found another fragment, probably picked up in the blog shoot. This one was in my wrist and I have no idea which gun did it to me. Or if it was from the shoot at all, but the timeline was right for it. I didn't notice when it happened.

It was about as big around as a thick eyelash but only about a sixteenth of an inch long. It wasn't lead, either. Too hard for that. Steel or maybe part of a copper jacket. It wasn't bending easily.

Odd that one fragment could go to the artery in my neck and another to the artery in my wrist... I'll be very happy if it avoided the one in my thigh at some future date.

Good Advice

"You never select a shotgun as your primary anti-zombie firearm. It's great for onesy twosey, but zombies travel in hordes. The reload time is onerous, and the ammo, while effective, is heavy and bulky and short ranged."
